Driving around Fulhum can be a pretty daunting experience, as indeed can driving around any part of London. Multiple lanes, loads of traffic and seemingly more rules than other cities and towns across the UK can make it seem like your worst nightmare. Recently me and my wife went for a weekend down to London and we hired a vehicle (a lovely Golf, which I highly recommend), and the prospect of driving did not exactly fill either of us with excitement it has to be said.

My wife in particular is not the most confident driver, so I didn’t expect her to do any driving over the weekend. She, however, wanted to try and so on Saturday morning at about 10 o’clock we set out for a day of shopping.

What we found was that driving around the town is actually not as scary as it first seems, providing you follow a few basic rules. The first is to take it steady, and not to worry about holding people up. The extra second you give yourself to think makes a big difference.

Secondly be absolutely sure to bring a satellite navigation system with you. If you don’t know where you are going in London you will have an absolutely nightmare of a time and can expect to incur the wrath of the locals when you cut them up or slow down to a crawl because you are not sure which turning or exit you are supposed to be taking.

Driving around London is not actually the mission impossible it can at first seem like, and providing you treat it with the respect it deserves you will soon find yourself very much at home in the city.

Fulham is a trendy and very affluent area of west London, between Putney and Chelsea. It is home to many wealthy Londoners and also 2 of England’s top football teams, Fulham FC and Chelsea, who were runners up in the 2008/09 season.

Hiring cars in the Fulham area is not too difficult. Being an affluent and very much business orientated part of West London hire companies are quite common. That said it always pays to book in advance, as you can compare prices and shop around, as well as ensuring you can actually get a car!

You should be able to have quite a wide variety of choice hiring a car in this part of London. There should be the usual practicality of small and medium family hatch backs and saloons, as well a few more fanciful cars that cater for those with a heavier wallet. Luxury SUVs will not be too hard to find shall we say.

If you are in the area and there happens to be a game on at either Fulham or Chelsea you would be well advised to watch a game. It’s a great day out for the whole family, and British football grounds are some of the safest and best policed in Europe. Chelsea games in particular draw a fascinating crowd of fans from all over the world who have adopted Roman Abramovich’s side as their own.

When on vacation in Fulham you don’t have to miss church services. No matter what your religion, we want you to feel comfortable on your trip. A car hire is the best form of transportation while in Fulham. With a car hire you can make it to church, restaurants, shops, and other fantastic places.
